something that would be awesome is if there was a command line tool to spin one up & it'd have a ticking timer to let me know how much time is left.

- bmh100 10y agoI agree with this. It would be much better to annoy users with constant "time remaining" notifications than to unexpectedly delete everything when the time expires. This would also function as an up-sell promotion, a literally "limited time offer" to extend the server's life. I'm not sure it's feasible, but what if you also added a command within the instance to extend its life to the next tier?
